Create an Ever-Evolving Accent Wall. This is the first idea we ever had after discovering the joys of chalkboard paint. Simply create your chalkboard between a pair of windows, on a small wall, or even make a border near the ceiling. The options are limitless - the placement does not even have to be convenient, as long as you do not plan to make constant changes. Use chalk markers instead of regular pieces of chalk to create a stunning graphic mural right on your kitchen wall. Did we mention that we love chalkboard paint? It is a simple, effective way to give your kitchen some quirky character. Just make sure to invest in dust-free chalk (teachers swear by it) to keep the dust off your food and dishes - after all, the kitchen chalkboard is all about functionality and convenience.

After this step is done, place this cleaning cloth into an empty plastic bag and rinse out the 2 gallon bucket. Now refill the 2 gallon bucket with warm water and some drops of Spic and Span to begin cleaning kitchen cabinets. Next comes the stove top and front, but it is a time saver to presoak the burner grills in a pan with a couple of drops of Simple Green cleaner. Now proceed with washing down the stove top and front plus do not forget to do the stove drip pan under the burners. Followed by the dishwasher inside and outside. Wash down the refrigerator and freezer tops, front and exposed sides. It is time to do window cleaning with Invisible Glass, both inside and out. For time saving, do use a squeegee and a dry microfiber cloth. By the time these few steps are completed, you can go back and clean the presoaked burner grills. Follow up by cleaning the sink and the waste basket inside and outside.

There are not many elements you could have altered which will better enhance your kitchen area than by getting stone countertops fitted. A custom made stone fabrication can rejuvenate any space, creating a feeling of extravagance. The key step to this technique is to decide on the appropriate stone. Probably the most common stone choice is marble, because of its luster and appearance. The elegance and natural beauty of marble brings quality to any home. Marble tends to be most commonly used in bathroom vanities, fireplaces and tiling because it is able to withstand a great deal of heat. However, it is now becoming increasingly popular for use in kitchen counter tops largely because of its ability to give the kitchen a clean and elegant look. However, despite the beautiful aesthetic value of Marble, it does have its disadvantages.

Did you know that the kitchen is the busiest and most popular room in just about every house? Anytime there is a gathering of mates, they frequently wind up congregating in the kitchen. Whether it is the lighting, the food or the ambiance that draws them, many hosts and hostesses find their perfectly styled lounge abandoned by their houseguests in favour of the kitchen table. Conversely, with the exception of the bathroom, the kitchen also is very often among the smallest rooms in the house. This is one of the reasons that organising the kitchen is so very important. With the kitchen being the heart of the home, it is important that it be as functional and streamlined as possible. If your kitchen is often filled with people, then it is important that it not also filled with junk that you rarely use. There are many nifty appliances out there, that boast great talents at making this or that, but at the end of the day, if they are not being used on a daily basis, then they have no place cluttering up your kitchen counters. Determining what you actually use is a really important first step to organising your kitchen.
